I'm thinking I could be happy with the base RCS, 15k burners. Going down the rabbit hole of mumkin's links it looks like with a little bit of chicanery and a couple of hundred dollars I could save eight hundred and have higher output.

 

Still looking for input....I've not placed the order as yet.

 

Thanks all.

 

I don't own a blue star, but I have a GE with one larger burner, about 21k and it does come in useful for boiling water for pasta and wok cooking.     That said, I looked into various options like a 3/4 inch gas pipe and a professional range before coming to the conclusion I was being a bit crazy.  

 

The reason I am posting is to caution you about going around manufacturers guidelines to save a few bucks.   Part of what talked me out of the professional stove was looking into various fire codes and ordinances.  When you start to tinker with a range you at a minimum void any warranty, you may also void your home owners insurance if you have a fire.  I would proceed with caution.
